Star Gowns at the 2012 New York City Ballet Event

New York stars pulled out some extravagent gowns for the 2012 New York City Ballet Gala on September 20.

No prizes for guessing who designed Sarah Jessica Parker's etheral gown.

SJP arrived with Valentino and matched the floral print from his design house with a flower in her updo.

She added Fred Leighton jewels and pretty bow-topped Christian Louboutins to complete the look. 

Olivia Palermo looked chic as always, arriving with beau Johannes Huebl (who you can just see disappearing in the background), and looking oh-so-elegant in her black and cream Christian Dior gown.

She matched it with co-ordinating Diane Von Furstenburg heels, plus a quirky touch with her feathery purple bag.

Anne Hathway swept in, in a autumnal brown gown which was also a Valentino creation. 

Karolina Kurkova could be looking forward to the new season of Once Upon a Time maybe, in a red caped Valentino Couture gown that was a seemed a Little Red Riding Hood inspired.
